An Interesting Take on Health....and Cholesterol

I recently watched 'Fat Head', a documentary which was a response to the ever so popular 'Super Size Me'. 'Fat Head' aims to show the faults and contradictions of the 'Super Size Me' documentary, exposing it for what it really is, a lie. So the filmaker decides to eat fast food for 30 days to prove that you can lose weight by using your head, and making healthy choices. Throughout the process, he consults with physicians and experts that give their opinions and such, and touches on not just weight, but also cholesterol. He provides a new perspective on how to lower cholesterol, which is quite different than what the typical doctor would recommend. I loved this documentary, and have to say, I agree with just about everything in it. I have had many of these same thoughts for quite a while now, and am glad someone is stepping up to talk about them. I recommend taking a look at this film, and keeping an open mind while watching it. It is quite controversial, but if you just sit down and think about it, it really makes sense. Don't discredit what he is saying because it is different or opposite of what you have heard before, just take in the information and ponder it, that's all I ask.
Here is a link to 'Fat Head', which can be watched for free on Hulu:
